Hello Bonnie and Clyde Fan, Blanche Barrow's prison memoir, "My Life with Bonnie and Clyde," will be released this fall, a book I helped produce. I'm John Neal Phillips, the author of "Running with Bonnie and Clyde." You may have heard of it, or even have a copy. It includes information from police records, court transcripts, and over 60 eyewitnesses interviews, including interviews with Blanche Barrow, Marie Barrow, and Ralph Fults. Or you may have seen me interviewed in one or more of the dozen or so television documentaries I've appeared in, but you can also read about me in the "Tattler" section of Frank Ballinger's Bonnie and Clyde's Hideout, the best website out there on the subject of Bonnie and Clyde. I was privilaged enough to be asked to edit and annotate Blanche's memoir and to sift through her five scrapbooks to chose the photos included in the upcoming book, 81 in all! The book is due for publication in November but the publisher expects it to be ready to ship by September 29.If you're interested in getting a copy before they hit the stores, order from the publisher, University of Oklahoma Press - or phone the publisher at 800-627-7377, or fax 800-735-0476, or go on-line at http://oupress.com This will be the most intimate look at the most intense period of Bonnie and Clyde's crime spree ever published, written by Buck Barrow's wife - Clyde Barrow's sister- in-law. We'll probably never see the like of it again. Thanks for your time and visit Frank Ballinger's website early and often. |
